| Before restarting Orion, why not start with a more modest goal: a facility to ''assemble'' spacecraft on the moon from parts made on Earth? Even without the mining, it'll mean we can launch a craft from Earth in several smaller rockets instead of one big one.

− | ::Not to have a conversation with three-year pauses, but why not assemble the ship in orbit? That way you don't have to use up large amounts of propellant to land ships in the moon's gravity well, then boost the completed vessel away again.

− | :::We don't exactly have the infrastructure to build things on the moon, either, you know. It would still be easier in space. [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 01:03, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

− | :::Not exactly, it costs money to send materials into space, materials we have to launch from the earth's gravity well, if we could instead use resources on the moon we can then use those resources to build things on the moon and launch them into space from the moon's gravity for less than we could launch those same materials from Earth. Eventually we can transport asteroids to orbit earth for raw materials in orbital factories and we won't have to worry about launching any of those --[[User:Lackadaisical|Lackadaisical]] ([[User talk:Lackadaisical|talk]]) 19:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
